Rethinking Microplastic Toxicity and Ecological Effects: From Particle Identity and Dose to Bioaccumulation, Biomagnification, and Environmental Fate
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous across environmental compartments and biological systems, yet particle occurrence, ingestion, tissue detection, and trophic transfer are often interpreted as evidence of exposure, bioaccumulation, biomagnification, or ecological risk. We argue that these observations represent distinc...
